TET 2026 Leak: Accused's Wife Arrested in Patna by Thane Police

Thane Police arrested the wife of the main accused from Patna on Tuesday in connection with the alleged Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) 2026 paper leak, officials said. The arrest follows a month-long investigation that traced the leak's origin to a network of exam-center staff and intermediaries. The accused's wife is suspected of helping to distribute leaked question papers to candidates in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Police said they recovered electronic devices and documents linking her to the operation. The case has led to the arrest of eight individuals so far, including two former education department employees. Authorities are examining whether the leak extended to other state-level recruitment exams. The TET 2026 exam, held in March, was canceled after reports of the breach surfaced.
